A Bushcraft Fixed Blade With Impressive Versatility

The AK 6.5 blade was one of the first blades designed by Architect Knives, and it set the bar high for all the blades that followed. It’s a general field use, survival, and bushcraft fixed blade all in one, offering unmatched versatility without sacrificing performance.

This knife’s near-centerline drop-point tip makes it perfect for performing piercing tasks and bushcraft knife tasks like drilling and skinning game. Its high saber grind enables it to take on slicing chores and woodcraft tasks, such as batoning wood. It’s an ideal choice for those searching for a knife with a six-inch blade that falls into the “sweet spot” for a medium-to-large outdoor knife.

Enhanced Toughness From a Knife With a Six-Inch CPM S35VN Blade

This bushcraft fixed blade is made in the USA from CPM S35VN, a type of stainless steel that offers exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. This provides the blade with unparalleled toughness and prevents chipping and cracking from occurring, even when the blade is subjected to unusually harsh conditions.

The 3/16″ thick blade is also uncoated, minimizing the need for extensive maintenance. Since it doesn’t have a coating, it’s a low-drag blade capable of efficiently carrying out slicing and food preparation chores with ease, highlighting just how versatile it truly is.

    Very nice, light weight, and very balanced. Over all I would definitely recommend this knife to anyone needing a trusty well rounded knife.

    Superb stonewash finish on the S35VN blade complemented by the lovely G10 scales with red liners. Function and form in equal measure make a lovely knife to own and use.

    I received my knife with all the parts that I requested. I really like the Micarta scales and the Kydex sheath was perfectly formed to the knife. The handle of the knife sits a little proud of the scales, but there are no hot spots that I can tell. As far as durability, that will have to wait until I can get out to the woods. The grind is even on both sides and it is nicely sharpened. I also purchased a 3” Magnacut as a companion, but have not recieved it yet.
    Great knife, great company and great response to my questions that came directly from the owner. Can’t ask for more than that!!
